Background
The Ferric Reducing Antioxidant Power (FRAP) assay specifically measures the ability of a sample to reduce ferric ions to ferrous ions. This provides a focused assessment of the reducing potential, which is a key component of the overall antioxidant defense system.
Pathways
Peroxidases are key enzymes in the ROS scavenging pathway, converting hydrogen peroxide to water and oxygen. They function downstream of superoxide dismutase and upstream of oxidative signaling attenuation.
